Lord Alan Sugar fires fourth 'Young Apprentice' after over-50s task

Lewis Roman has become the fourth Young Apprentice to be fired by Lord Alan Sugar.

The contestant exited the series following this week's task, which involved picking products for an over-50s exhibition.

Team Kinetic won the task, after taking in £1,138.77 altogether for their combination of mini vacuums and trolleys. Team Atomic, led by Haya Al Dlame, only took in £847.42 for their pie makers and bird boxes.

Haya decided to bring back Lewis and Hayley Forrester into the boardroom to face Lord Sugar due to their sales figures.

The PM firstly put the task's failure on Lewis's lap, saying: "I thought he was very unprofessional and immature. During the pitches to suppliers I felt like his mother trying to control her small child."

Hayley responded: "I think Haya should be fired. She didn't respect or take into account any of our opinions about the product."

Lewis told Lord Sugar that he felt Hayley should be fired, saying: "She only sold one unit which suggests she wasn't passionate and enthusiastic."

Coming to his decision, Lord Sugar said: "Lewis I admire your bubbly enthusiasm but sometimes I feel like your tongue isn't engaged with your brain and it needs to be. Hayley you're very articulate in what you do and what you say but I'm not sure whether you have enough power to express yourself above the other strong characters we have in this process.

"Haya what I have learnt over the years is that before being adamant about things you have to listen to other people and it appears to me that you weren't prepared to move on your decision.

"I have to make a decision and my decision is, Lewis - you're fired."

While driving away in the taxi, Lewis reflected: "Lord Sugar believes in opportunities and he's given Hayley an opportunity to prove herself. I've already proved myself in this competition."

Young Apprentice continues next Monday at 9pm on BBC One.
